Bishop of the Devil

As expected, Milicic won the MVP of this All-Star Game. With his near-triple-double data and the highest score in the Eastern Conference, it would be unreasonable not to give him the MVP.

"Congratulations to the host, because Darko Milicic participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, the host received the "Darko Milicic All-Star Light"."

Richard sighed after only getting one All-Star.

To say how precious this All-Star light is, that's not the case.

However, this thing can still be of great use at certain times, and Richard will definitely not have too much.

For example, in the previous Olympic Games, this all-star light came in handy. Otherwise, Richard would really have no confidence in defeating Argentina.

…

Because West Lafayette was in a state of disconnection before, Richard's efficiency in obtaining All-Star light is definitely much lower now.

But this is only temporary. If Richard can lead the team to the All-Star next year, the Pirates will be almost ready to rise by then. There will definitely be many newcomers in the team who can reach the All-Star.

Then you will naturally be able to get a few more All-Stars.

…

"Congratulations to the host. The player I coached, Darko Milicic, won the MVP of this All-Star Game. You will be rewarded with a giant crotch protector, one of the host's giant suits."

Richard couldn't help but feel happy. He had obtained the fifth super-giant suit. Now there were only four parts left, and he could put together this super-giant suit.

I don’t know what the specific attributes of this super giant suit are, and why it can make an ordinary person instantly have the strength of the Demon God Emperor Buddha Shark.

According to Richard's estimation, it might not take long before he can put together this super giant suit.

It could take as little as four years.

Because of the All-Star restructuring, Richard now has the opportunity to be re-elected as the All-Star coach.

This year Richard led the team to the All-Stars. According to the rules after the restructuring, unless unexpected circumstances occur, even if Richard leads the team to the first record in the Eastern Conference next year, he will still not be able to be re-elected as the All-Star coach.

It can be said that the general direction of the re-election rule has not changed after the restructuring.

But there is an unexpected situation...

For example, next year Richard led the team to the first record in the Eastern Conference, while the Pistons were second in the Eastern Conference.

When Richard could not be re-elected, Sanders was qualified to lead the team.

In this case, Sanders then transferred the qualification to Richard, which was allowed by the reformed rules.

In other words, as long as Richard is lucky and someone transfers his All-Star leadership qualification to him every time, he can be re-elected.

Of course, this kind of thing is unlikely, and some coaches still value the qualifications to lead the All-Star team.

And even if some coaches don't value it, they won't transfer this qualification to Richard, maybe because the big player in the team has a bad relationship with Richard.

If he's lucky, Richard may be able to put together this giant suit in the next four years, but if he's not lucky, according to Richard's estimation, it won't take more than seven years.

…

In the blink of an eye, his three sons are already over half a year old.

Because they were triplets, all three children were a little underweight when they were born.

(I have seen some readers say that the weight of the triplets is unscientific. How can it be possible that the triplets weigh 17 kilograms together? In fact, this is normal. Some triplets can weigh more than eight kilograms individually. What does Dahei say? I am also a father, so I know a lot about this kind of thing...)

However, in the past six months or so, the three children have grown very fast, and the two brothers are now almost 18 pounds.

The youngest brother currently weighs fifteen pounds.

According to Richard's estimation, his younger brother may not be a basketball player. After all, he has some congenital deficiencies and is probably not as good as his two older brothers in terms of physical fitness.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as you grow up healthily, you can still live a wonderful life without playing basketball.

By the time these children grow up, Richard's fortune of tens of billions of dollars will be nothing to mention impressive.

With so much money, even if his children cannot have a successful career in the future, Richard is enough to ensure that they will be wealthy for a lifetime.

These three sons were all born with a silver spoon in their mouths...

Of course, Richard is definitely still inclined to let his sons develop towards the NBA. After all, this is what he does, and it is right for sons to inherit their father's career.

…

In the week after the All-Star break, teams across the league are busy.

Seeing that the door to the trade market is about to close, every team is trying to take advantage of the last moment to quickly strengthen the lineup and strive to make a difference in the playoffs.

At this time, Richard received a call from Zhang Weiping.

"Brother, I just submitted my resignation application to the team management. I may not be in the NBA circle anymore." Zhang Weiping said with sadness in his tone.

Richard was startled, Zhang Weiping was going to resign? what happened?

"What happened? Someone suppressed you?" Richard asked curiously, frowning.

In any case, Zhang Weiping is his hand-picked successor. Is it possible that someone in the Blazers management dares to suppress Zhang Weiping?

"No, don't be so excited. I really don't want to do it anymore."

"To be precise, I can't do it anymore. Maybe I'm really not that material."

"Over the years, the Blazers have been worse in my hands every year, and I am embarrassed to continue to stay in this position."

"It happened that a team in China wanted to invite me back to coach. Although the money was a little less, I felt that it might be more suitable for me."

Zhang Weiping sighed and told Richard the whole story.

He is indeed reluctant to leave the NBA stage, but he also knows very well that he is not suitable for this bowl of rice.

It was Richard who left him with a strong family background. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to take over the position of head coach.

Now the domestic CBA team is interested in inviting him to return to China to coach, which is also a good thing for him.

At least there won't be so much pressure anymore.

After so many years in the NBA, Zhang Weiping has learned many advanced tactical concepts and training plans. When he returns to China, he will undoubtedly bring certain improvements to Chinese basketball.

Richard nodded. Since Zhang Weiping had thought about it himself, there was no need for him to dissuade him.

"By the way, do you know who took over your position?" Richard asked curiously.

"It seems that the former SuperSonics head coach McMillan and old Dunleavy also submitted his resume to the Blazers management, but in the end he was not even given a chance to interview." Zhang Weiping looked at Richard with a smile. He naturally knew why old Dunleavy Didn't even get a chance for an interview.

Richard was also happy. This old Dunleavy really didn't know anything at all. The Trail Blazers could almost be said to be Richard's back garden, and this old guy actually wanted to join in the fun.

Richard is very familiar with McMillan as the head coach and has dealt with him before.

Under normal circumstances, it seems that he is the Blazers who started coaching this year. Oden, Roy, Aldridge and others were all selected by him.

If nothing else, McMillan may undergo some reconstruction after taking over the Blazers.

The current Trail Blazers are completely desperate. You can say they are super powerful, but now let alone the championship, they can't even reach the conference finals.

It's inappropriate to call them an underdog. They can make the Western Conference playoffs with their eyes closed.

If this situation were to happen to the Trail Blazers under normal circumstances, Paul Allen would probably be quite satisfied...

After all, under normal circumstances, the Trail Blazers have always had this kind of virtue, and they have always been in a state of neither death nor life.

But now that he has tasted the taste of the dynasty, he naturally cannot accept this life-or-death situation, and may be starting to completely rebuild.

"Does Paul Allen mean to rebuild?" Richard asked.

Paul Allen has never mentioned this matter to Richard, and he is probably too embarrassed to mention it. After all, this is the family fortune that Richard has built up, and it has almost been defeated after so many years. How can he have the nerve to mention this to Richard? thing.

Zhang Weiping nodded. Although the news was not made public, Paul Allen did put forward the idea of ​​reconstruction in a meeting.

It was precisely because the team was about to begin rebuilding that Zhang Weiping realized that he could no longer coach the Trail Blazers, so he resigned.

"I heard that we are currently negotiating with the Lakers. Maybe there will be news in the next two days..." Zhang Weiping did not shy away. Anyway, Richard is considered a member of the Trail Blazers. Telling Richard this news does not count as revealing the team. confidential.

If Richard wants to know, he can call Paul Allen at any time. Can he still keep it a secret from Richard?
